Bart Cleveland began writing fiction in 2007, winning awards in science fiction and thriller categories in Southwest Writers and Writer’s League of Texas contests. He plans to publish his first two novels, The Purification and Jimbo’s Big Day, in 2020 and 2021. For over thirty years, Bart developed brand stories for companies like Coca-Cola, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, and James Hardie Siding. That work won hundreds of the ad industry’s top awards. It resulted in his agency being named the most creative small agency in the US by the AAAAs. He has written about advertising for ad industry publications, including Communication Arts, Creativity, One, A Magazine, and TalentZoo.com. In 2005, Bart launched Small Agency Diary for Advertising Age Magazine. It soon became the magazine’s most successful blog, boasting thousands of readers. Bart lives and writes near Austin, Texas.
